General Mach Discussion / Re: Override limits button on settings page not workin'??

« on: May 24, 2006, 08:18:19 AM »

Hi Sid:

  The override led wont light up unless your on a switch. The AutoOverride will, but the override wont take effect unless a switch is active.

Check your diags screen to ensure the Limit LED's only light  up when pressed, they may be backwards..

General Mach Discussion / Re: Win2000 Installation Problem

Hi Kevin:

  I also checked the MAch3 1.90 code base, it is set to display an error if any fault like that occurs... Your not getting my Code Error message, so it makes it doubly strange. Something in the system reallly doesnt want to start up... Its not driver related though if it wont run without a driver installed, its something more basic..

Let me know if you find anything.. Id liek to know what coudl cause that...

Ill let you know if I think of anythign or see anythign similar..

Thanks

Hi:

  Hmm. OK, well first, its not a driver issue or a speed issue, I dont think its an optiisation issue either.
The fact that it shuts down with an application fault is very very strange. Happens to less than  .0000001% of
people. In other words, your only the second on Ive seen. This is caused by some internal program trying to
run at the same time, but triggered to load by Mach3..typically. The fact its happenign on all three versions you tried is
very telling in that the three share very little in code.
  Are you sure no antivirus program is running (and no virus). This is suspicious of spyware trying to get a hnadel on whats going on.
or some weird interaction. Id try runnign in safe mnode and seeing what happens.. Then, I think Id try installing Mach3 and telling it not to install the driver so it loads as a simulator. See if that also crashes. An application fault is not a normal fault.. Migth take a reload of Windows to clear that one..

Thanks

Hi:

 You can test it with just importing a bmp or jpog, that generates alot of codes..

  I tried your xml, but the file must be bad because the motors arent even turned on in it.
Send me your Mach3Mill.xml file. I tried running your code snipet below and it runs here without slowing, just a
bit of variabnce from 119 to abnout 120IPM.

  I need your xml file to see why yours woudl stop. Waht feedrate are you trying to run that snippet at?

Hi:

Nice machine. But I bet if I add up all those buttons and switches and dials, you got two Mach3 screens there. (The panel counts as screen space..    )

Nice machine, be nice to have..

Hi:

 This can be the Gcode, if its full of very short vectors ( very short) it can stall the CV modes and make things jerky. It doesnt sound like CV is acting up since the straight line test runs. Make sure CV feedrate is not turned on on the settings tab, also make sure Angular descrimination on the confif logic is left turned off. Either of those may do things such as this..

Shelly:

  The only way to get away from that is to have a  greater acceleration, Im told yours is 4? Thats pretty slow for a mm machine.. Hmm..
Try this as a test.

G1X5
G1X10
G1X20
G1X30

  Do those 4 lines execute with no slowdown inbetween?

Thanks
